"Fill Each Hour to the Brim"

The 1953 Version of YOLO

Look at this poem I came across in SF, written in Venice... Italy. 1953:


The author is this amazing 88 year old woman named Sami Sunchild. 
She's a beat/post-hippie/entrepreneur who runs a charming establishment.
I met her in SF. She owns the Red Victorian Peace Center/Bed & Breakfast
Haight-Ashbury type dish.

She's got a good mind for an old lady. 
The stuff she wrote when she was younger,
Her quotes on social entrepreneurialism, life,
World interconnectedness, and peace, are...
...guess you just gotta be there. Go stay at the Red Vic.

One of the toilet bowls has fish in the tank.
Every room (and every bathroom) is individually themed.
And they gave me Nutella on Toast topped with berries, for breakfast.
Best line in this poem, to me, is "Living now, What Might Be." Do it!
